Since the launch of Zero Proof by Recess, mindful drinkers have been sipping non-alcoholic canned beverages that blend cocktail-inspired flavors with adaptogenic ingredients, offering a sophisticated social experience without the hangover or drawbacks of traditional drinking. Joining existing flavors in the lineup like Watermelon "Mojito" and Ginger Lime "Mule" are two all-new varieties: Classic "Cosmo" and Island "Spritz."
These juicy 0% AVB craft mocktails with benefits are low in calories and sugar—because they're naturally sweetened with agave instead—plus they offer added benefits from functional ingredients like uplifting guayusa (with 10 milligrams of natural caffeine,) tension-easing L-theanine and lemon balm for calming relief.
Both of the new Recess Zero Proof flavors are bundled in the Happy Hour Sampler with Lime "Margarita" and Grapefruit "Paloma."
